Exactly. Why did you have to be a dick to the cop? Maybe he was just checking if the car was stolen. Maybe next time someone jacked your nice ride at 3AM while you're hugging your pillow the cop wouldn't pull them over and it would be on a boat to South America by the time you wake up and report it....

So you started off a traffic stop by being a dick? As for those of you saying cops profile, yes, maybe they do if you're driving like an idiot or driving a fast and the furious machine with your seat reclined, arm halfway out the window, and hat on tilted up. You look like monkeys.

Yes I started off being a dick. He has no reason to stop me. You actually live in a big city (or metro) where people actually are out and about at 3am. The time changed, it was actually 2am till 2:01am when it jumped an hour. Secondly, I received no ticket, because he had NO REASON TO STOP ME. Nothing whatsoever, I was not speeding, not tailgating, no loud exhaust, nothing. So I helped him shorten his unnecessary stop.

If he was not profiling me, wouldn't he have continued his duties as an officer would normally do? Like actually call into dispatch for info on the driver? Or, as he claimed, that my vanity plate "obscured vision of my license plate" wrote me a ticket to fix it, at the very least? He did none of that.

WHO CARES?

Cops pull people over late at night, they can make up a BS reason, you should be happy they're doing more than just shooting radar, if you didn't get a ticket or "randomly get arrested" then no point in even caring.
